Definitions

  • the invention relates to Faraday-effect type current sensors, and more particularly to a sensor coil with improved immunity to mechanical effects, in particular rotation and vibration of the coil.
  • Fiber-optic devices are attractive for sensing a magnetic field induced by an electric current, in particular if the electric current is carried by wires having a substantial electric potential with respect to ground.
  • Such fiber-optic current sensors can be made quite small and can be constructed to withstand considerable mechanical shock, temperature change, and other environmental extremes. Due to the absence of moving parts, they can be nearly maintenance free, and they have the potential of becoming economical in cost.
  • a fiber-optic current sensor has an optical fiber wound in the form of a coil which surrounds the current-carrying wire of which the current is to be sensed.
  • the coil may have one turn to several hundred turns, and is part of a closed optical path in which an electromagnetic wave, such as a light wave, is introduced.
  • the light is typically circularly polarized with opposite polarization directions, with the opposite polarization directions forming counter-propagating waves which traverse the coil in clockwise (cw) and counterclockwise (ccw) directions.
  • the counter-propagating waves are then recombined and impinge on a photodetector.
  • the optical rotation increases in one polarization direction (for example, cw) and decreases in the other polarization direction (in this example, ccw).
  • the opposite result occurs for current flow in the other direction.
  • the difference in the optical rotation between the counter-propagating waves introduces a phase shift between these waves, which is known as the Faraday effect.
  • the fiber-optic current sensor does not give the expected current sensing accuracy.
  • Vibrations can produce a phase shift via the rotational motion of the sensing coil (the Sagnac effect).
  • the sensor is, in effect, both a gyro and a current sensor; responding to angular rotation as well as to magnetic field.
  • a sensing coil having a diameter of 137 mm and 4 turns of fiber has a Verdet constant of 2.5 xlO "6 radians/Ampere-turn, the optical phase shift produced by an angular rotation of the coil of 1 sec is equivalent to that produced by a current of 100 Amps.
  • Such a rotation would be produced by an azimuth displacement of 240 ⁇ m at the outer diameter of the coil at a vibrational frequency of 50Hz.
  • the effect arising from sensing coil vibrations and rotation can be substantially reduced or even eliminated by forming a fiberoptic current sensor coil of a fiber sensing coil section made of a first fiber that has substantially no birefringence and is wound in a first winding direction about an axis; and at least one "bucking" coil made of a second fiber that has a large birefringence and is wound in a second winding direction about the same axis.
  • the first fiber and the second fiber of the at least one fiber bucking coil section are connected to one another so that optical radiation, when viewed along the axis, propagates through the first fiber in a direction opposite to the direction of the light propagating through the second fiber.
  • the at least one fiber bucking coil section is insensitive to the Faraday effect and has substantially the same effective total area as the current sensing coil section.
  • the bucking coil is advantageously placed adjacent to the current sensing coil and is bonded to it so that both coils experience substantially identical rotation, acceleration or vibration.
  • the first and second fiber can also be placed next to each other during the winding operation or bonded to one another before the winding operation.
  • the bucking coil can be a highly birefringent fiber, such as an elliptically cored fiber, which is insensitive to the Faraday effect.
  • At least one first quarter wave plate can be disposed in a region where the first fiber of the current sensing coil section and the second fiber of the at least one fiber bucking coil section are connected to one another.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a first embodiment of a fiber sensing coil arrangement according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of a fiber sensing coil arrangement according to the invention
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a third embodiment of a fiber sensing coil arrangement according to the invention
  • Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a current sensor configuration using the fiber sensing coil arrangement of Fig. 3; and Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a conventional current sensor configuration.
  • a conventional fiberoptic sensor 10 includes a light source 18, which may be a broad-spectrum superluminescent source (SLS) exhibiting superluminescence or superfluorescence, as has been observed in high-gain laser materials which are operated below lasing threshold or as an essentially single-pass amplifier of spontaneous photons without the use of an optical resonator.
  • SLS broad-spectrum superluminescent source
  • SLD superluminescent diode
  • a superluminescent fiber source may be employed which has an improved the temperature stability over that of a semiconductor SLS.
  • the available power in an SFS is significantly higher than that of a SLD.
  • the light source may be polarized or unpolarized.
  • a laser diode operating below lasing threshold can also be used.
  • the light source 18 is coupled to an input coupler 20 which is implemented as a directional coupler.
  • a first portion of the light emerging from the input coupler 20 is transmitted through a polarizer 28 which produces linearly polarized light.
  • a second coupler 23 launches two counter-propagating light beams into the respective ends of the fiber sensing coil 22.
  • ⁇ /4 wave plates 26, 27 are inserted between the source and the fiber sensing coil to convert the linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light.
  • the phase of these counter-propagating light beams is modulated by phase modulator 25 when the respective counter-propagating light beams enter or exit the fiber sensing coil 22 at the respective coil ends.
  • a detector 12 is coupled to a return tap of fiber coupler 20 and measures the optical power of the interference light produced by an interference of the counter-propagating light beams combined in fiber coupler 23.
  • each of the counter-propagating light beams experiences a Faraday rotation by the magnetic field produced by the electric current flowing through wire 24, so that the optical power of the interference light is in first approximation proportional to the electric current.
  • the interference light also includes, in addition to the desired current signal, components arising from a rotation or vibration of the FO sensing coil 22, since in the Sagnac configuration the sensing coil 22 operates not only as a current sensor, but also as a gyroscope.
  • the ⁇ /4 wave plates 26, 27 can be implemented, for example, as a polarization transformers of the type disclosed in the commonly assigned US patent application No. 09/337,223 to Dyott. It will further be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the fiber sensing coil 22 is only representative of an optical waveguide configuration and that other optical waveguides, such as integrated waveguide structures, for example, thin film waveguides formed on a suitable substrate, may be used instead of or in addition to the optical fiber of the fiber sensing coil 22.
  • a FO current sensing coil 30 which is less susceptive to vibrations and may be substituted for the fiber sensing coil 22 of Fig. 5, includes a first coil section 32 forming the current sensing coil and a second coil section 34 optically connected to the first coil section 32 and forming a compensation or "bucking" coil.
  • the first coil section 32 is formed of a first optical fiber, preferably a fiber having a low birefringence, which is wound in the form of a coil about a coil axis 39 with a first winding direction.
  • the group velocity of the propagated radiation is independent of the polarization direction of the radiation. For this reason, coils made of low- or zero-birefringence fiber are commonly used for FO current sensors where the polarization state of the radiation is altered by the current-induced magnetic field.
  • the second coil section 34 is formed of a second optical fiber, preferably a fiber having a large birefringence, sometimes also referred to as polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber, which is wound in the form of a coil about essentially the same coil axis 39, and encircling the current carrying conductor with a second winding direction opposite to the first winding direction.
  • PM polarization-maintaining
  • the first optical fiber of the first coil section 32 is connected in series to the second optical fiber of the second coil section 34 in such a way that, as viewed along the axis 36, the optical radiation propagates, for example, through the first coil section 32 clockwise and then through the second coil section 34 counterclockwise.
  • a ⁇ /4 waveplate also referred to as a "polarization transformer” is inserted between the sections 32 and 34 in a current- sensing configuration.
  • the coil 30 formed of the two coil sections 32, 34 rotates or is subjected to vibrations, a phase shift induced in the first coil section 32 is compensated by a corresponding opposite phase change in the second coil, and vice versa, if both coil sections experience identical rotation/vibration characteristics. For this reason, the coil sections 32, 34 are preferably intimately coupled to one another, as discussed below.
  • Fig. 2 depicts a second embodiment of the invention in which the bucking coil 34 is subdivided into two bucking coil sections 34a and 34b which can be arranged symmetrically with respect to the current sensing coil 32 to reduce asymmetric effects in the coil assembly 30 caused by the rotation or vibrations.
  • the two bucking coil sections 34a and 34b are wound in the same direction, which is opposite to the winding direction of the current sensing coil 32.
  • ⁇ /4 wave plates 36, 38 are disposed proximate to the end sections of the current sensing coil 32 between the current sensing coil 32 and the bucking coil 34 (Fig. 1) or the respective bucking coil sections 34a, 34b (Fig. 2) to convert linearly polarized radiation to circularly polarized radiation, and vice versa, as discussed above.
  • the coil 32 and the respective coil(s) 34, 34a, 34b do not have to be actually physically wound in opposite direction, but only have to be connected in such a way that the propagation direction of the radiation in those coils with respect to the axis 39 is reversed, as schematically shown in Fig. 1.
  • the coil section 32 and the respective coil(s) 34, 34a, 34b can be co- wound as a single strand coming from separate fiber stock, as indicated in Fig. 3. In this way, the radiation experiences almost identical vibrational effects when traversing the coil 30.
  • Fiber loop 40 may be replaced with a fused fiber reflector or with a directional 3 dB coupler, which are known in the art and will not be further described at this point
  • a current sensor with reduced susceptibility to vibrations and sensor rotation includes, like the current sensor of Fig. 5, a radiation source 18, an input coupler 20, and a polarizer 28.
  • a second coupler 23 launches two counter-propagating light beams into the respective ends of the fiber sensing coil 30 having a reduced susceptibility to vibrations.
  • Fig. 4 shows the embodiment of coil 30 according to Fig. 3, although any of the current sensor coils illustrated in Figs. 1-3 can be employed.
  • the current sensor can also be a reduced minimum configuration (RMC) current sensor of the type disclosed, for example, in commonly assigned U.S. patent application Serial No. 09/615,166 to S. Bennett and R. Dyott, which is incorporated herein by reference. While the invention has been disclosed in connection with the preferred embodiments shown and described in detail, various modifications and improvements thereon will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un capteur de courant de type Faraday moins sensible aux effets de rotation, d'accélération et de vibration de la bobine de capteur. La bobine de capteur de l'invention comprend une première partie de bobine formant la bobine de captage de courant ainsi qu'une seconde partie de bobine connectée par voie optique à la première partie de bobine et formant une bobine dite de compensation. La fibre optique de la première partie de bobine présente de préférence une biréfringence quasi nulle; elle est connectée en série à la fibre optique de la seconde partie de bobine, qui présente de préférence une biréfringence élevée. Le rayonnement d'éclairage se propage à travers la bobine de capteur. Ainsi, tel qu'on l'observe le long de l'axe de la bobine, le sens de propagation dudit rayonnement dans la première partie de bobine par rapport à l'axe de la bobine est opposé au sens de propagation dans la seconde partie de bobine.
